"Pakistanis, like us, seek peace and happiness"; Tamil music director turned actor Vijay Antony with social media post

26 people, including a foreign national, were killed in the shooting attack on tourists in the Pahalgam area of ​​Jammu and Kashmir on April 22.

The world, including India, has strongly condemned this terrorist attack. Although no charges have been filed against Pakistan, the Modi government has taken steps against Pakistan, including temporarily suspending the Indus Water Treaty and ordering the immediate deportation of Pakistani nationals present in India.

Islamophobic messages have been spreading online under the context of the Pahalgam attack. In this situation, Tamil actor Vijay Antony has raised the voice of religious harmony, saying that Pakistanis also want peace like us.

"My heartfelt condolences to the families who lost their loved ones in Kashmir. This is a painful moment for all of us as Indians. At the same time, we should be concerned about the 50 lakh Indians in Pakistan, who along with Pakistanis like us, seek peace and happiness. Let's choose love and humanity over hatred."
